Light and refreshing! Made with garden picked fresh string beans so I didn`t cook in water. Just added in along with the zukes. Didn`t need broth so that was omitted. For the herbs I use Greek oregano, parsley, thyme. Plated and just poured the dressing over it. Didn`t measure a thing just went with it. Thanks!

I used fat free yogurt in this marvelous dish and mixed it into the pan with the veggies so that they would all get coated. This is a truly fast and delicious recipe that I used as a healthy light meal. I will certainly make this again and I think that next time I'll add some red pepper and mushrooms. Yummmm :D. Made for PAC, Spring '10.

What a fabulous way to enjoy vegetables! :) I used my Vegetable Stock and creamy Greek yoghurt (as that's my regular yoghurt); and used fresh basil, oregano and thyme. Loved the lemony yoghurt sauce. I'll be making this regularly from now on and look forward to trying it with different vegetables and different herbs. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
